US staged fake Guantanamo interrogations

According to this article, from the Australian, the US staged fake interrogations at the Guantanamo torture chamber for visiting politicians to make it look as if they are actually gaining useful intelligence from the detainees there:

"Interrogations were set up so the VIPs could come and witness an interrogation ... a mock interrogation, basically," Sgt Saar told the program, to air on Sunday.
"They would find a detainee that they knew to have been cooperative. They would ask the interrogator to go back over the same information," he said, calling it "a fictitious world" created for the visitors.
Sgt Saar worked at Guantanamo from December 2002 to June 2003.
